Top best gaming mouse you can buy

Choosing the best gaming mouse for your PC isn't easy these days, with so many features and loads of good mice to choose from. Various dpi settings, infrared or laser optical sensors, different numbers of buttons that might or might not be programmable ... you need to know what you're looking for. What manufacturer should you go for ... Logitech, Razer, maybe Microsoft,Saitek,Logitec,Ideason?

Most important feature:-

When it comes to playing computergames, a mouse is not just a mouse. It’s important interface between you and the game. But which thing is that it makes special? And how its different from the ‘normal’ mouse.

There are a few key features that you should look for:

§High Sensitivity (DPI/CPI)
The higher the DPI or CPI value the better, up to a point. Higher sensitivity means less physical movement of the mouse to move the cursor a set distance on screen, but very high sensitivity (5000dpi or more) needs an extremely steady hand to get the best out of it.

§Adjustable Sensitivity
With a highly sensitive mouse it's good to be able to adjust that sensitivity without having to take your hand from the mouse. Some mice feature buttons or keyboard shortcuts to swap between different levels, so you can go for full sensitivity in-game and turn it down for desktop apps.

§Programmable Buttons
Some mice allow the buttons to be programmed to perform specific actions, or even a series of actions (a macro). Great for gaming and obviously the more programmable buttons the better.

§Lighting
purely a question of taste, some mice have cool lighting effects to make them stand out from the crowd. Glowing or pulsing, red, green or blue, you should be able to find a mouse to suit your taste.

§Adjustable Weight
some gamers prefer a light mouse, others prefer something a bit more chunky - being able to customize the weight of the mouse gives you the best of both worlds.
